PIRATES 1, DODGERS 0 (10)
PITTSBURGH -- Dodgers lefty Rich Hill lost his perfect game on an error in the ninth inning, then lost his no-hitter on a leadoff home run in the 10th by Josh Harrison that sent the Pittsburgh Pirates over Los Angeles 1-0 Wednesday night.
Hill became the first pitcher since Pedro Martinez in 1995 to take a no-hit try into extra innings.
The Pirates didn't have a runner until Jordy Mercer led off the ninth with a sharp grounder that smacked off third baseman Logan Forsythe's glove for an error. Hill retired the next three batters.
Hill (9-5) came back out for the 10th and Harrison sent his 99th pitch of the night into the first row of seats in left field, just out of the reach of Los Angeles leftfielder Curtis Granderson. Hill struck out 10 without a walk.
After Mercer reached in the ninth, Hill quickly retired the next three batters. Chris Stewart laid down a sacrifice bunt, Jose Osuna grounded out to Forsythe and when shortstop Corey Seager gobbled up a grounder by Starling Marte, Hill held the Pirates hitless for nine innings.
But to get official credit for a no-hitter under Major League Baseball rules, a pitcher must complete the game -- going nine innings isn't enough if it goes into extras. So Los Angeles Manager Dave Roberts sent Hill back out to see if he could keep the no-hitter going.
It proved to be one inning too many.
One batter, in fact. Hill could only watch the ball sail over the fence and, without expression, walked to the dugout.
"We knew we had a chance to win with one hit," Harrison said later.
